Expert warns: Norway is experiencing a "tech hangover"
Fredrik Winther from Sintef Venture believes that Norway is now feeling a so-called "tech hangover." The term describes a period in which the technology industry faces challenges following a time of very high activity and great expectations.
Sintef has played an important role in the development of many Norwegian technology companies. Businesses such as Nordic Semiconductor, Chipcon, GasSecure, and poLight all have their origins, in whole or in part, in the research environment at Sintef.
These companies have long been important for Norwegian technology development. When experts now speak of a "hangover," it means that the industry must adapt to new economic realities and a market that has changed.
It is currently unclear how this situation will affect future investments in Norwegian technology companies. The development is being closely followed by investors and professionals who are concerned with Norwegian innovation and the future of the business sector.
